The New Face of The Catholic Telegraph

Veteran journalist Stephen A. Trosley, most recently publisher and editor of The Journal-Standard in Freeport, IL, has been appointed by Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr to be editor-in-chief of The Catholic Telegraph, effective January 3.

The 180-year-old Telegraph is the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, mailed monthly to about 155,000 households in the 19-county archdiocese.

At The Catholic Telegraph he succeeds Tricia Hempel, who resigned in June after 18 years.

For an example of his work, here is a recent column of his from The Journal-Standard on the subject of illegal immigration.

It isn’t immigration that is divisive, as most Americans are very supportive of it when done according to our laws. It is illegal, er … undocumented immigration that overwhelming majorities oppose. Glossing over that fact, as Mr. Trosley does, is sadly all too common.

In any event, immigration is a mostly dead issue, as the numbers of the undocumented arriving here have been tailing off for years.

“The ones who follow the law, like my illiterate grandparents did 100 years ago, will enrich the country and be absorbed into its fabric. The ones who break the law or ignore it, may also make a contribution to the great American drama. Should they be deported? Only if they are criminals or are involved in criminal activity. We need to make it clear there is no positive right for anyone to be here if they choose not to follow our laws.”

So if I rob a bank without a gun or note demanding all the money, am I simply making undocumented withdrawl?

I also love it when the left says Reagan had an amnesty program. After months of rangling on the issue, Reagan made an agreement with the Democrats and Republicans who were pushing for a broad amnesty program. If it was allowed, the congress and executive branch would work together to seal the border so this never happened again. They had no intention of keeping their word to Reagan and this should be the example. That is why people say secure the border first and after it is secure, then lets talk about who is here now illegally and use that word, not undocumented. Those with memories of what happened now insist one come before the other is even discussed for very good reason…political hacks lie.

And one would believe the USCCB actually thinks supporting wide amnesty to illegal folks by the party of death and perversion somehow balances out other things like abortion and their attack on religious freedom and marriage between one man and one woman. Social Justics my a__

By the way, I have not subscribed to the Katholic Telegraph for decades and have questioned my parish finance committee if any funds from the parish is going to this rag for a subscription for the parish members. It has not been, but was being done at one point. I understand it is what has kept this rag alive for years. Nothing like forced subscriptions through theft…
